Battle of LITS tournament: Jonas vs Kenku

[William Swiftfoot]

Uhhh...Jonas...I just noticed. Weve been both cheating with the L shapes ^^;

[William Swiftfoot]

Move 13: As for the move. There is on way, and with that, I believe I may have forced a tie at worst :P

[Jonas]

Move 14: I win by a point =D

Also, we haven't been cheating. Flipping a block in addition to rotating isn't against the rules, just checked with Mathgrant.

[William Swiftfoot]

Move 15: Wrong! 12-12 :P

Edit: and noted. DOH on my part as I had a better move had a flipped the S two turns ago, but anyway.

[Jonas]

I count 17 O's with my pieces on them and 16 X's with your pieces on them. Why do you say 12-12?

[mathgrant]

I count 12 and 12. Shall we move on to the next game in the match, or shall we have countless recounts?

[William Swiftfoot]

Jonas its remaining spaces alive, not captured. Also, there is a move to go :P

[Jonas]

Ah, I see. In that case the final move would make it 11-12, so your win, Kenku. Next game can start.

[William Swiftfoot]

Ok. You have first move.

[mathgrant]

Game 1. Jonas wins 13-10.
Game 2. Jonas wins 12-11.
Game 3. Kenku wins 12-11.
Game 4. Jonas(X) vs Kenku(O), board diagonals.
Game 5. Jonas(X) vs Kenku(O), board horizontals.
Game 6. Kenku(X) vs Jonas(O), board horizontals.
Game 7. Kenku(X) vs Jonas(O), board generated via random.org.

(Incidentally, Jonas could have played an S as the final piece to avoid covering up his X's, yielding a tie score, which would make Jonas the winner by virtue of the last piece. An arbiter engaging in postmortem discussion. Who knew?)

[Jonas]

Move 1

[William Swiftfoot]

Just checking...being that your Xs to start Jonas areyou sure you want to start there?

[Jonas]

Right >> my symbol is the one I'm supposed to protect... my bad.

Move 1: Corrected!

[William Swiftfoot]

Move 2: I think im gonna take your actions...Switch :P

[Jonas]

Move 3: It seems that with this board, there's no good opening move.
